Clio V6, M4 Comp, X5
Basicly i bought my 1st Clio 2 weeks ago, a 172 Cup 03 plate.
I payed a bit much for it imo (2.5k) considering it needed a few bits doing but i needed a car for work after selling my stunning Evo VII and buying a Cayenne which was too thirsty for everyday use.
The next day i made a start on the things that needed to be done.
The steering wheel was mullered so i bought a really good 2nd hand one off here and changed the noseband bit for my cup one, the footrest was missing so ive sourced one from here which im waiting on and im also in the stainless foot rest cover group buy, it had no rear wiper so i went to the main dealers and got one along with a center exhaust mount and cv gaiter.
I got an engine cover off here and it cleaned up nicely with a bit of carb cleaner.
I then needed a radio as i had a hole, so off to Halfords, fitted it and surprise surprise no signal so off to Renaults again for an antena base which sorted that out, i also bought some spark plugs while i was there.
A trip to Quick Fit for a fully syn oil and filter change just incase and then home to fit the plugs, exhaust mount, engine cover and steering wheel.
I had the tracking done, a couple of budget tyres fitted to get me through a few days untill i could find a cleaner set of wheels, i got the car fully checked over for wheel bearings and bushes ect and thats where i discovered that one of the front springs was different to the rest i.e a non cup one, it had been changed for the MOT
That ment a new set of lowering springs were soon ordered and on thier way.
I bought a mint set of Turinis and Toyo's off here which are ready to go on when i fit the springs and paint the calipers this weekend with an OMP tow eye.
I have a new set of Sport mats on thier way and also new Clio Cup stickers for the door pillers.
Theres s**t loads to do so i'll start to take some pics along the way and see if i can make a nice little car out of it.
Heres the car as i bought it along with some other odds n sods in no particular order that need doing or have been done.
Oh and the Evo and Cayenne
